The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 632



The Cossacks were anxious to see the Hessian cavalry charging recklessly towards the artillery. The Cossacks on the right rushed down from the hillside. They followed behind the Hessian cavalry and kept shooting and yelling, trying to interfere with the charge of Cherchen and Hessian cavalry. The Cossacks around the artillery gathered around the open car loaded with artillery. They erected a human wall, erected Cossack\'s iconic short spear, and pointed the sharp spear forward.

Two Hessian cavalry following Chechen drove the horse to speed up. They came to front of Chechen and protected Chechen with their bodies.

A cannon rang out behind the Cossack\'s short spear array. It was the Cossack artillery that refilled the artillery with grape bullets.

Followed by the sound of guns, there was a crackling sound of guns.

Continuous fire shrouded the Cossack position in a black fog.

At this time, the Cossacks could not see even the people around them.

Stanislaw pototsky opened the door and came out of the carriage. The old man in the carriage listened to the sound of gunfire and gunfire just now. He was deeply afraid of Chechen\'s accident, so he came out to check.

The armored Cossacks escorting the carriage hurried to the old man and erected a barrier with a shield to prevent the old man from being injured by stray bullets.

"Uncle, go back to the carriage. It\'s dangerous here," advised Henrik pototsky, a member of the mission and a nephew of Stanislaw pototsky.

But the old man didn\'t seem to hear it. He got into the carriage and looked in the direction of Chechen and Hessen cavalry.

At this time, the wind blew the thick smoke generated by the burning of gunpowder to the front, and coerced Chechen and his Viscount Hesse.

"Cherchen, you can\'t do anything. Otherwise, how can I tell Natalie?" Stanislaw pototsky thought anxiously.

At this time, Chechen lay on the ground. His mind was dizzy, and his sight and hearing seemed to be lost.

The shelling and platoon just now knocked down the two Hessian cavalry in front of him. He felt that he had also been shot. The bullet seemed to hit under his right chest, his rib seemed to be broken, and his horse was killed on the spot.

Although I don\'t know what happened to the two Hessian cavalry guards in front of me, even I was hit. Those two must be more or less dangerous.

When he got off his horse, Chechen felt the ground shaking. The rest of Hessian cavalry were still charging. At this time, he is the most dangerous, because his companion\'s horse\'s hoof is likely to step on himself. Fortunately, he was not trampled by the galloping horse.

Chechen turned over hard on the ground. He propped himself up with a saber and shook his head to death.

Chechen felt that his hearing had recovered, and he could hear the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of swords.

Obviously, his subordinates have fought hand to hand with the Cossacks.

He stumbled forward, trying to join the Hessian cavalry or find a horse to ride on. But he didn\'t take a few steps. Chechen tripped at his feet. He fell to the ground and lay on a bloody body.

Chechen\'s body is covered with each other\'s flesh and blood. He was so close to the body that he clearly saw the dead man\'s face.

It was a Hessian cavalry guarding him. Chechen remembered that his name was Hans, a blonde boy in his twenties. Hans was one of the few mercenaries who didn\'t have fun after Silesia received the bonus from Cherchen. Chechen once asked why. The Hessian young man who was not a few years older than Chechen shyly told Chechen that he wanted to save his money. Because in his hometown, he fell in love with a beautiful girl with blond hair and braids, and the girl also liked him very much, but the girl\'s parents were open to money. They asked for a huge bride price. In order to save enough money for the bride price, he came out to be a mercenary.

At this time, the teenager has lost his life forever. His cavalry half armor was broken and there were countless blood holes on it. Obviously, he covered Chechen, but he also took most of the grape shells fired by the artillery.

"Hans..." Chechen\'s eyes shed tears.

Another gust of wind blew, and the black smoke across the battlefield was finally dispersed.

Stanislaw pototsky finally saw the scene on the battlefield.

The 18th Hessian cavalry scattered the thin short spear array of the Cossacks, and their sabres and broadswords cut left and right in the crowd. Because the Cossacks are basically unarmed, their every move can cause a Cossack\'s casualties, but the Cossack\'s short spear is difficult to stab the horsemen running wildly.

Originally, when Cossacks used short spears to deal with Tatar cavalry and polish cavalry known as cavalry on the grassland, they did not only rely on short spears, because even the long spear array was difficult to compete with these excellent cavalry alone. They relied more on the combination of terrain, chariots, short spears and muskets. After resisting the cavalry charge under the cover of terrain and chariots, drag the enemy\'s cavalry into hand to hand combat. But now, they had no favorable terrain and chariots to stop the cavalry\'s charge, so the Cossacks were defeated when the artillery could not stop the enemy.

The artillery that posed the greatest threat to the mission was taken down by the cavalry. The gunner lay on the artillery body, and his bloody hand was still convulsing.

Stanislaw pototsky smiled, but the old man\'s smile immediately solidified.

"It\'s terrible!" the boss patted his thigh anxiously: "get on your horse to save Chechen, come on!"

It turned out that at this time, although Hessen cavalry broke the short spear array of Cossacks and took the gun, they left Chechen behind. The Cossack infantry, who had been chasing after the Hessian cavalry and were going to encircle from the right, had been less than 20 meters away from Chechen.

"Yes, yes!" the little flag warrior of the armored Cossacks hurriedly took 9 armored Cossacks on his horse to rescue Chechen.

"You too, go, go!" Stanislaw pototsky ordered the Polish dragoons in front of the position.

At this time, Chechen also found himself in danger. He staggered back to join the Hessian cavalry. But a Cossack who rushed to the front and held a stick tied with the shoulder blades of the cow was close to Chechen. The Cossack held the shoulder blade of the cow above his head and smashed it at Chechen\'s face.

Che Chen pulled out the Dutch double barrel pistol at his waist and shot the other party in the face.

The bullet hit the Cossack\'s left eye, and his eyes burst like crushed cherries. The huge kinetic energy took the body of the dead and flew out.

The rest of the Cossacks were stopped. They stopped and looked at the gun in Cherchen\'s hand in horror. They didn\'t want to be the second person to die under the gun.

Chechen took this opportunity to continue to escape. Every step he took would affect the broken rib, which felt a deep pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured, and ran faster, because he occasionally looked back and saw that some Cossacks were loading their muskets with ammunition and preparing to shoot themselves.

Gunfire rang out. A column of soil smoke kept rising around Chechen. It was a bullet shot on the soil.

"Go to hell!"

A Cossack holding an axe in both hands rushed behind Chechen. He waved the axe behind him, and then made a horizontal chop at Chechen\'s head with his waist strength.

If this plan is hit, Chechen must be different from his waist and head. His reaction was also good. When there was no time to rush, Cherchen turned around and bent his legs. His body sank and his whole body became shorter.

The sharp axe blade crossed the top of the sharp helmet on Chechen\'s head and fell empty.

But the fight between the two did not end here. While he was squatting on the ground, he jerked his left leg back, then leaned forward, and the saber in his hand was sent out, accurately stabbing his opponent\'s chest.

The Cossack exposed his bronze and steel chest muscles. The tip of the knife easily pierced his skin, and then Cong pierced his heart between his two ribs.

The Cossack stared like a bell. He felt that his vitality was disappearing, and his hands that could break the horseshoe gradually lost their strength.

Finally, he released his hand, his axe fell to the ground, and his strong body fell back to the ground.

Although he has solved his opponent, Cherchen is not optimistic about the situation. Because in this short time, other Cossacks were close to themselves. Chechen shot down a man, but there was no bullet in his barrel. Next, he had to face hundreds of enemies one by one.

The Cossacks spread out a semicircular encirclement. Because of his heroic performance just now, the Cossacks were afraid of him. They were afraid of fighting with him alone and tried to kill Chechen with the advantage of number.

Che Chen put the saber across his chest. He watched all the way, listened all the way, and was ready to attack from all directions at any time.

Just then, a burst of gunfire came from the left wing. The Cossacks panicked, and they looked one after another to the left.

It turned out that the Dragon cavalry sent by Stanislaw pototsky arrived at this time. They jumped off their horses and lined up in two rows, then fired a volley of guns at the enemy.

The left wing was attacked, and the enemy appeared behind the Cossacks. The armored Cossacks shot deadly feather arrows at the enemy\'s back, then raised their cavalry guns behind them and charged.

The Cossacks in front of him were rushed to pieces in an instant. They were either nailed to the ground with lances or knocked down by war horses.

After breaking into the enemy, the armored Cossack quickly pulled out his saber and hawk hoe. They use shields to block the attack of Cossack short spears from the flank, and then use their melee weapons to attack all enemies trying to approach.

At this time, most of the Cossacks had fallen into battle with the Polish armored Cossacks, making some of them rush towards the Polish dragon cavalry, and only three Cossacks were still dealing with Chechen. But even so, Chechen was still forced to retreat, and there were many dangers. Because the three Cossacks cooperated very well, they held Cossack short spears in an inverted triangle and surrounded Che Chen in the middle. And the three do not attack at the same time. Each attack is carried out by two of them, while the other one guards with a spear and looks for loopholes and gaps in Chechen\'s defense.

Although they are called short spears, the length of the weapons in their hands is between 1.2 meters and 1.5 meters, which exceeds the length of the saber used by Chechen. Among all the cold melee weapons, the eternal truth is that every inch is long and every inch is strong. Because a longer weapon means attacking the other party earlier, and the other party can\'t attack you at the distance you can attack the other party. Although the Cossack short spear is not as long as the long spear used by the spearmen in the Spanish Square, and the enemy using the Cossack short spear cannot be carefully taught by an expert of "the first knife of the Republic" such as the mihau knight, the cooperation between the three short Spears is enough to force Chen to be close. When the weapon length is at a disadvantage, Take risks to kill the enemy.

After four or five rounds of fighting, Chechen finally inadvertently revealed a flaw. The Cossack who had been watching on the side stabbed Chechen straight to expose the lower abdomen of the empty door.

Because this attack was a long planned attack by the opponent, the Cossacks holding the short spear poured almost all their two-color strength into the Cossack short spear. The good shape of black armor alone could not slide away this attack, and Che Chen was solidly hit. Fortunately, the breastplate of the black nail is a whole iron plate, which is made into a convex shape, leaving a cavity between the iron plate and the chest and abdomen. When the breastplate is attacked, the steel plate at the attacked position begins to deform under external force. At this time, part of the force is transmitted to the human body through the force bearing points of the breastplate on the two shoulders of the human body. After that, the deformation will expand, because it is a large integral steel plate, so there will be a lot of room for deformation. At the same time, because there is a cavity with the human body, as the breastplate is pressed on the human body, many parts such as shoulder, waist and abdomen begin to be stressed. In this way, the deformation of large plate armor will absorb a lot of energy. Secondly, the residual energy is shared by multiple parts of the human body, which can minimize the damage caused by stabbing.

Therefore, the fatal blow to ordinary people, to the Chechen wearing plate armor, only made him step back a few steps.

The Cossack still couldn\'t believe that his fatal blow didn\'t kill his opponent. He raised his head in surprise and looked at Chechen strangely.

At this time, the two Hessian cavalry finally saw that their commander was in danger. They turned their horses and came back quickly. The two men straightened their swords and crossed the bodies of the Cossacks with the impact of the war horses.

"Commander, get on the horse!"

A Hessian cavalry jumped off his horse and gave his mount to Chechen.

"How\'s the situation?" Chechen asked.

"Commander, we have dispersed the enemy on the front, and the artillery has been captured by us. The enemy fled and others are pursuing. It is only a matter of time to solve them," said a Hessian cavalry optimistically.

"Well..." before the "good" exit, Chechen suddenly saw a team of nearly 200 Cossacks appear on the originally calm left side of the position. At this time, only ten armored Cossacks were protecting the safety of the members of the mission.
